John Houx's Green Period on CD

In dirty simplicity and in gorgeous grace, the New York folksinger keeps his focus set on bare truth with bare feet. THE VEGAN SON of a California cattle rancher, John Houx was a hobo when he arrived in New York City in 2007. He knew no one and had nowhere to stay but within months was on the magazine cover of the NYC Antifolk scene. In less than two years, he has written 'a slew of excellent songs' says Eli Smith, host of Down Home Radio Show, and John is now touring across the States and overseas. The rest of the time he can be found studying magic in Harlem or writing songs over tea in the Lower East Side. 'John Houx's Green Period' is made up of the most popular songs from his first city year, and was recorded in a single night. Funny and tragic, crude and stirring, but always honest and live, this is a record of one young man alone, of first takes, of a MOMENT.
